These are the best scones I've had! I added orange zest to the dry ingredients, and let it infuse for about 45 minutes before continuing, and they turned out sooo scrumptious! (No raisins).

incredible! i followed the directions almost to the letter however, i added the blueberries as another person suggested. because blueberries can "bleed", i froze them first so that when they were added, they did not bleed. i also took another suggestion and added sprinkled sugar before i put them into the oven. can't wait to try other add-ins. thank you grandma johnson!

These scones are delicious, and I love that you can freeze them and then pop them in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes to have fresh scones any time! Per other reviews, I modified the recipe a bit by decreasing the salt to 1/2 tsp (because I used salted butter), decreasing the sugar to 3/4 cup, using half white flour and half white whole wheat flour, omitting the raisins, dividing the recipe in half, adding 1/2 cup cherries and 1/2 tsp almond extract to one half, 1/2 cup currants and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the other half, brushing all scones with milk and sprinkling with cinnamon/sugar mixture, and topping the cherry almond scones with sliced almonds. I can't wait to try out other flavors as well!

I just made these for my husband's birthday and they were a huge hit! I stuck to the original recipe; no need to adorn them with anything fancy- they're perfect just the way they are. I did freeze them overnight and baked in the morning at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Yum!

Very good and versatile. Made several batches with different flavorings (Raspberry & orange, chocolate chip, blueberry & lemon). Got rave reviews from friends and family. Very moist.

Fantastic!! I took the suggestion of another reviewer and added 1 tsp. of vanilla and the flavour was great! I split the batter and added fresh blueberries to one half and mini chocolate chips to the other ... both were really good. I can't wait to experiment with other fruit and flavours! The scone itself is quite sweet,I may cut back on the sugar especially if using fruit in season. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

Prepared the recipe as written. Divided the dough in half. Made choc. chip scones and blueberry. HOLY COW GOOD! Grandma Johnson's recipe is a total keeper!! Took a bit longer than specified in the recipe but worth the wait!!

Very very good. I thought the dough might be temperamental (sp) but it wasn't at all to me. I followed the changes of the reviewer just before me and they were very very good. I used about 3/4 of cup of chocolate chips in the dough....perfect!!

Delicious! They were the perfect mixture of soft and crumbly. I made them on Mother's Day and they were a huge hit. I added cranberries to this batch. I will be making these again.

I know this recipe doesn't need another review, but I just had to give credit where it was due. These are the single best plain scones I have ever baked or eaten, bar none. I left out the raisins, and made them for a tea, and everyone thought they were so good. They are light and just faintly sweet, so you can use devonshire cream, jam or lemon curd on them. My son used the leftover scones with strawberries and homemade whipped cream for strawberry shortcakes, and they were incredibly good that way, too! We will be making these again and again.

These are by far the best scones I have ever tasted! I used 1/2. raisins and a 1/2 c. chopped dates which I cooked in 1/2c. water until absorbed. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. DELICIOUS!
